Ruslan Stefanchuk, Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada, announced the move in a post on Facebook. “The Verkhovna Rada has received the resignation letter of Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko,” Stefanchuk wrote. According to Stefanchuk, parliament will consider the matter in the near future. He also thanked Svyrydenko for her service during an exceptionally difficult period for the country.
